yes Tom, we have a ditch that is 13' to the crown on both sides and is 4' deep on the middle, so the wing walls will be half buried in both sides of the ditch and the core filled/packed, the volume of water flowing through it will be a max of 2700 Cubic feet per minute, so when the stop logs are absent the flow will be roughly 10" x 3'. we will likely have some rip rap incorporated on the edges as well.

here's a pic of part of the ditch (only pic I have on photobucket), I texted you a pic of the old system

Thanks Tom for the return text so quick! I might send you a final plan to look at if that's ok. I highly value your input!
